Monica believes that taking the leap into therapy can be really scary, and wants you to know she will be there to receive you with compassion and a sincere desire to hear and understand you. She believes that life experiences shape the way we see and feel about ourselves, others, and the world. Trauma, or any disturbing event, can significantly distort these perceptions. This includes humiliation or betrayal; abuse; accidents; witnessing or experiencing natural disasters; or any other event that has been hurtful or disturbing, either from the distant or recent past. When life experiences are harmful or traumatic, we can feel stuck, and unable to move on. This can be overwhelming and defeating, and can often lead to a sense of hopelessness and despair. She believes in empathetically walking alongside others on their journey to hope, healing, and love.  Monica treats adults who are struggling with: trauma, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. She uses several different modalities focused on the needs and strengths of each individual client or couple and has received specialized training in EMDR to help process complex trauma. She treats children with behavioral issues using play therapy and works with couples going through divorce on co-parenting skills. Prior to private practice Monica spent fifteen years working with complex trauma survivors in an International Christian non-profit organization where she specialized in working with survivors of intimate partner violence, survivors of sex trafficking, at-risk children, refugees and those struggling with substance abuse and homelessness.
